Priorities for the 2/3 first months:

Ensure scale-up of our BHA funded operations (response to strikes in Hassakeh in particular), while engaging in an updated annual plan for 2025 in NES
Donor engagement for Iraq to further develop SI’s climate change and Integrated Water Resources Management programming and to respond to closure of IDP camps..
Settle the new Hub structure and ways of working between the 3 bases (Raqqa, Hassakeh, Iraq)
